19e Eeuwse Schil Travel Guide

Rotterdam

Historic city Dordrecht. The name Dordrecht comes from Thuredriht (ca 1120), Thuredrecht (ca 1200). The name seems to mean 'thoroughfare'; a ship-canal or -river through which ships were pulled by rope from one river to another, as here from the Dubbel to the Merwede, or vice versa. The city was formed along the Thure river, in the midst of peat swamps. This river was a branch of the river Dubbel, which is part of the massive Rhine–Meuse–Scheldt delta complex, near the current Bagijnhof. Around 1120 reference to Dordrecht was made by a remark that count Dirk IV of Holland was murdered in 1049 near "Thuredrech" info: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dordrecht

Discover the rich history of Dordrechts old town and wander through narrow streets and cross small bridges. On the most beautiful spot of Dordrect, on the dock where three rivers meet each other, you will find the well-known, monumental building Bellevue. The exterior of Bellevue Groothoofd Hotel Culinair is recently renewed but kept its old glory. The new interior however, is modern, trendy, stylish and cosy. From here you have this magnificent view on the rivers and its activities. The hotel in Bellevue has 12 stylish hotel rooms, with all the comfort you may expect. The rooms are modern and trendy but have, at the same time, an authentic and warm ambiance. The entire hotel offers free WIFI. The name says it all; look no further if you’re looking for a culinary experience. The Bellevue Groothoofd Hotel Culinair has two restaurants – which will both surprise you. https://chateaux.nl/en/hotels/bellevue-groothoofd-hotel-culinair/
